Description:

The accompanying Cody Firearms Records Office letter lists this rifle in .32-40 caliber with a 30 inch octagon no. 3 barrel, set trigger, checkered stock, midrange and windgauge sights and Swiss buttplate when it was received in the warehouse on April 21, 1891 and shipped the same day. Features a windgauge front sight, standard elevator rear sight mounted on the barrel, midrange tang peep sight, deluxe walnut checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with nickel plated brass Swiss buttplate. The top barrel flat is stamped "32-40" at the breech and "3" on bottom ahead of the forearm. The checkered forearm and pistol grip stock are nicely figured deluxe walnut. The forearm and pistol grip have an ebony insert. The left side of the lower tang is marked "264 XXX" and assembly number "26x" (last digit illegible) is stamped on the stock inlet.

Rating Definition:

Very good, retains 30% original blue finish and strong patterns of the original case colors with smooth gray and brown patina and scattered freckling on the balance. The lightly reoiled deluxe wood is very good with some light handling marks, a reglued cracked section visible on the front left of the forearm, a few lines of grain separation on the right of the buttstock, and otherwise nice figure. Mechanically excellent.
